About AWS PostgreSQL MCP Server
An MCP server that provides read-only SQL query access to an AWS PostgreSQL database. It is configured with environment variables and exposes database queries through a single `query` tool.
Key features
- 01Queries AWS PostgreSQL databases
- 02Provides a `query` tool
- 03Restricts queries to read-only operations
- 04Uses environment variables for configuration
Use cases
- 01Inspect tables in a PostgreSQL database
- 02Run read-only SQL queries from an MCP client
MCP support
Exposes a `query` tool to MCP clients for read-only SQL access to an AWS PostgreSQL database.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMEAWS PostgreSQL MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server providing read-only SQL query access to an AWS PostgreSQL database via the query tool. Configuration uses environment variables.
Setup
- Clone:
git clone https://github.com/T1nker-1220/aws-postgress-mcp-server.git cd aws-postgress-mcp-server - Install & Build:
pnpm install pnpm run build
Configuration (for Cline/Windsurf)
Add this server to your MCP client's settings file (e.g., c:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Windsurf\User\globalStorage\saoudrizwan.claude-dev\settings\cline_mcp_settings.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
// ... other servers ...
"aws-postgres-mcp-server": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
// Full path to the built index.js
"C:\\Users\\NATH\\Documents\\Cline\\MCP\\aws-postgress-mcp-server\\build\\index.js"
],
// Database credentials go in the 'env' object
"env": {
"DB_HOST": "YOUR_HOST.rds.amazonaws.com",
"DB_PORT": "5432",
"DB_NAME": "YOUR_DB_NAME",
"DB_USER": "YOUR_DB_USER",
"DB_PASSWORD": "YOUR_PASSWORD"
},
"transportType": "stdio",
"disabled": false,
"autoApprove": []
}
// ... other servers ...
}
}
-> Replace the placeholder values in the env object with your actual credentials.
Usage
Once configured, the client will start the server. Use the query tool:
<use_mcp_tool>
<server_name>aws-postgres-mcp-server</server_name>
<tool_name>query</tool_name>
<arguments>
{
"sql": "SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema = 'public';"
}
</arguments>
</use_mcp_tool>
Notes
- The server only allows read-only queries (SELECT, SHOW, etc.).
- To configure clients using
npx @t1nker-1220/aws-postgres-mcp-server ..., the package must first be published to npm. The configuration would still use theenvobject for credentials.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
